The announcement didn’t provide much detail but users are able to sign up with their email addresses to learn more information as it becomes available. Previously, Canadians were able to fund projects through Kickstarter’s American website only if they had a U.S-based bank account.

Kickstarter launched in 2009 and is one of th world’s largest funding platforms for creative projects. People can post projects related to almost anything and then encourage people to donate towards their project. Users who post projects maintain full ownership and control of their projects.

Over 200 million people have pledged over $300 million towards various projects.

The fact that I’ll finally be able to contribute to projects I care about on Kickstarter is great.
